Mainstreaming AIDS in development instruments & processes at the national level: a review of experiences (pdf 900kb)

This review, from UNAIDS and UNDP, examines the experiences of mainstreaming HIV and AIDS in national development instruments and the technical support provided to national partners.

The review focuses on the HIV and AIDS content of national development instruments, the processes of implementation and progress to date, including gaps in technical support.

Key issues highlighted in the report include:
- Strengthening links between PRSPs (poverty reduction strategy papers), NAFs (National Action Frameworks) and sector plans
- Taking AIDS into account in economic and social policy
- Linking AIDS with poverty-related diseases and other Millennium Development Goal priorities
- Continuing technical support for mainstreaming
- Limited mainstreaming of AIDS among national partners

The report recommends that country-level actors and technical support providers need to promote and ensure appropriate coverage of AIDS in PRSP content and other national development instruments.
